The scope of Personal Data we collect depends on the functions of DramaWave you use and how you use these functions. The purposes and types of Personal Data we collect are summarized in the below.

Registration and Login. If you choose to register for a DramaWave account by email or mobile phone number (if applicable), we may need to collect your email address, phone number, nickname, age and a password for your account. If you refuse to provide such Personal Data, you will not be able to complete the registration process and can only use very limited functions of DramaWave as a visitor. After you have logged in, you may also choose to add additional Personal Data to your personal profile page, such as your nickname, avatar/portrait, gender, introduction, etc. New users of DramaWave may also log in through a third-party platform account (please refer to Section 1.C below for more information).

To further clarify, we may collect the age/birthday provided by users for (i) compliance with laws. By requiring users to provide age/birthday information, DramaWave can restrict access to certain features and content that may not be appropriate for minors to comply with laws in different regions, and request consent from the parents to their children's use of DramaWave and the process of the minor's Personal Data, and the age/birthday helps identify and address issues related to minors, such as the protection of minors and the prevention of child abuse or delinquent behavior, (ii) account security and authentication. By verifying a user's age/birthday, DramaWave can better protect users from fraudulent accounts, unauthorized access, and other security issues, (iii) ad targeting and personalized experience.

We will also ensure the effective implementation of these technical measures through code review mechanisms.

8. Special notice to California residents

If you are a California resident, this section provides a special notice and applies to you. For California residents, Personal Data in this section is equivalent to “Personal Data” that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.

California Shine the Light Law: California residents may request a list of all third parties to which we have disclosed certain Personal Data about you for marketing purposes. You may make one request per calendar year. In your request, please attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for your response. You may request this information by contacting us using the contact details provided in the “How to contact us” section below. Please allow up to thirty (30) days for a response.

California Minors: If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and you are unable to remove publicly-available information that you have submitted to DramaWave, you may request removal by contacting DramaWave using the contact details provided in the “How to contact us” section below. When requesting removal, you must be specific about the information you want to be removed and provide DramaWave with specific information, such as the URL for each page where the information is located, so that we can find it. DramaWave is not required to remove any information where: (i) federal or state law requires us or a third party to maintain the information; (ii) the information was not posted by you; (iii) the information has been anonymized by DramaWave so that you cannot be identified from such information; (iv) you don't follow our instructions for removing or requesting removal; or (v) you received compensation or other consideration for providing the information. Removal of your information from the services does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of that information from our systems or the systems of our service providers. In addition, materials that you have posted may be republished or reposted by another user or third party. Please note, DramaWave is not required to destroy the information; DramaWave's obligations under California law are satisfied so long as we anonymize the information or render it invisible to other users and the public.

Do Not Sell My Personal Data: Where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides you with the right to opt out of the “sale” of your Personal Data. We generally do not directly sell your Personal Data in the conventional sense (i.e., for monetary or other valuable consideration). Like many social and entertainment mobile applications, however, we use services that help deliver interest-based ads to you and may transfer Personal Data to business partners for their use. Making Personal Data (such as online identifiers or browsing activity) available to these companies may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. To request that DramaWave may not “sell” your Personal Data, please contact us using the contact details provided in the “How to contact us” section below. Please note, some transfers of your Personal Data may not be considered “sales” and certain exemptions may apply under the CCPA, such as sharing aggregated demographic and interest data of users. Your selection does not affect other sharing of your data, as outlined in this Privacy Policy. You may still see some advertising, regardless of your selection.

Do Not Track: At this time, we are not aware of worldwide uniform or consistent industry standard or definition for responding to, processing, or communicating Do Not Track signals. Accordingly, our services may be unable to respond to “Do Not Track” requests from browsers. In addition, when you use our services, we and third parties may use tracking technologies to collect your Personal Data about your online activities for a variety of purposes, including serving you advertising and personalized content. If you want to opt out of having your online activity and device data collected by third parties, there are a number of tools and methods that any user may use. For example, your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes. Please note that using these tools to opt out of tracking and targeting does not mean that you will not receive advertising while using DramaWave, nor will it prevent the receipt of interest-based advertising from third parties. It will exclude you, however, from interest-based advertising conducted through relevant networks and platforms, as provided by their policies and choice mechanisms.

Additional Information: If you choose to exercise any of your rights under the CCPA, you have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by us. To the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, we may charge a reasonable fee to comply with your request.
